Gigipan - Cutting Edge in photography

A friend of mine mentioned this photograph to me recently. It was only when I saw it for myself that I realised the magnitude of it. The picture was taken with a robotic camera at 1,474 megapixel. (295 times the standard 5 megapixel camera) Makes you wonder who's watching us right now !! Essentially it is a whole bunch of shots stitched together to produce one massively high res image. It was taken at the recent presidential inauguration in the USA and you can literally see every person's face clearly if you zoom into the crowds. Follow this link to have your mind blown, it is super cool!

Make sure you're online while viewing because just like google-earth for those who are familiar, it has to load each photo stitched in.
